if you search Twitter/X, or Instagram, or social media platforms in general, you will come across "Pitt" fans undergoing what seems to be some sort of mass delusion.

If my source is "someone on Twitter" I can prove anything. The Pitt is actually about unicorns, source: Twitter.

I wish I could understand if this is an actual trend or just one person. Hell I've had conversations with people in real life about certain shows only to realize they completely missed the point or got stuck on something minor that "ruined" the show for them, even though that thing was just a minor part of it.

Yes, people die on "The Pitt" (it's set in a hospital emergency room), but it's not really the type of show to bump main characters off like "The Sopranos," or, again, "Lost," which killed main characters left and right

At the height of its popularity ER killed off a main character. One suddenly (with John Carter surviving) and one slowly over the course of several seasons. More similarly to ER we have characters who just leave. Dr Collins was a big character in season 1, in season 2 she's just gone with a quick mention.

I don't expect someone to die ever week because this show takes place over one shift. But between seasons? Dr. Al-Hashimi is great this season, but is clearly hiding something. She could easily be gone next season. (Or she could be around for the next 10 seasons.)
